Washington State Employment Security Department’s Labor Market and Economic Analysis database states that as of 2005, the position of Radiological Technologist/ Technician in Washington State offered an hourly mean wage of $25, on a scale between an hourly entry-level wage of $19, and an hourly experience-level wage of $28. With only a 2-year AAS required to certify, this makes Radiological Technicians a well-paid group compared to other medical technicians requiring the same amount of training, such as Lab Techs who are paid about the same at entry level but less at experience level. In most medical facilities in Washington, particularly those that are largely State-funded such as Harborview, Radiology Techs are SEIU members and as such enjoy the job protection and advocacy offered by that organization. WetFeet.com, an employment research agency, says that “radiological technicians are currently in very high demand and will continue to be in demand in the decade ahead.” A fascinating field with broad applications across the various medical disciplines, Radiology is a sound choice for the individual considering a career in Healthcare.
